What are the benefits of reference design?
You focus on what you want the project to do, how it should best function and who it should serve - rather than a specific material outcome.”.
Prefabricated components help accelerate construction by allowing work to be completed off-site, ahead of schedule..However, challenges such as transport and installation of large components (e.g., multi-trade pipe racks) must be addressed early.
For instance, lifting pipe racks onto the steel frame before the roof is installed can mitigate logistical challenges.. Fast Commissioning Drives Programme Success.Equipment installation and commissioning often delay production.To counter this, construction activities should be planned around the commissioning sequence..
Recommendations for Fast Commissioning:.• Prioritise construction of critical production areas.. • Install site-wide utility systems in parallel with critical process areas.. • Design control systems to enable phased commissioning of interconnected sections.. Planning for the Future.
DfMA benefits are maximised when applied across a long-term project pipeline.
reference designs.In fact, there’s an annual shortfall of around 59,000 graduates and technicians against available roles.
This shortfall is acutely felt in construction because trained engineers are often lured away into the tech industry where their ability to think around a problem, and solve technical challenges is highly prized.. Engineering within Bryden Wood.At Bryden Wood, engineers are key members of integrated teams and work closely with architects, computational designers, data analysts and mathematical modellers.
It’s a powerful combination of skill sets that finds innovative solutions to design challenges.And as you might expect from a leader in tech-led design and construction, the workflows are 100% digital.
